This is Government Attic's posting of a 1969 Library of Congress annotated bibliography, UFOs and Related Subjects, compiled by Lynn E. Catoe for the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. The Defense Technical Information Center released it under FOIA in November 2014. The bibliography lists more than 1,600 items and was requested to support the University of Colorado UFO study led by Edward U. Condon. Its preface concludes that no simple, single explanation of the UFO phenomenon applies to all cases.

Develops thesis that the mind of man seems to be a many-levelled (intellectual
levels) receiver that tunes to the "universal thought source" and that UFOs

Commenting on the compulsion of ''believers" to identify unidentified flyjng ob-
jects, the author says that "its not what you see that is suspect, but how you
